Causeway Boulevard closing Saturday at Interstate 10 in Metairie

State highway officials plan to close Causeway Boulevard in both directions at Interstate 10 in Metairie on Saturday at 10 p.m. The ramp from I-10 to northbound Causeway also will be blocked.

The closure is scheduled to last until Monday at 5 a.m.

Northbound Causeway traffic will be detoured onto I-10 to continue east to Bonnabel Boulevard or west to Clearview Parkway, the Department of Transportation and Development said. Southbound traffic is to be detoured north of Veterans Memorial Boulevard onto ground-level Causeway then directed west on Veterans.

During this period, workers plan to install steel girders for new ramps, part of the $100 million overhaul of the Causeway interchange at I-10.
